Lighten the load

Work-related posture and musculo-skeletal disorders are a common problem in Europe, and this is recognised by the European Commission. With regards to the inspection and communication campaign on manual handling of loads, initiated by the SLIC (Senior Labour Inspectors Committee), a website is created. Available in 22 languages, the site offers general information on the manual handling of loads and methods and tools for risk assessment.
